work-out

The reaction to the robbery is now really obvious in my parents. The picture of what exactly happened to them getting more complete and vivid. My dad is limping his way through the day for the moment and I now know why and how he got this ugly cut on his hand. My mom is having trouble going to certain places by herself. We don't really dare think about what happened and what could have been. 

Having a shop and owning your own business means life has to go on though. Too much depends on it. There's no room to slack or to go easy for a few days. Suck it up and keep going. This challenge we've decided to take on, means we've got to keep going. And so we have. We've been working out and we've been casting plaster, drying it actively and painting it in our spare time. Also our teacher parents nights are done. So, this means we've got a few more minutes of spare time in our lives besides the projects. Just as well, as it's almost December and the pressure is coming on. There have been parents of students, looking up Christmas decorations they don't use, bringing them over to us, donating them for making Christmas pieces, so that's awesome! Thanks everyone who's brought in something. We are definitely going to be making them into something beautiful in the coming weeks!

For now, this time isn't an update on our normal work-outs, but on some other work-out in progress:

Here's the proof we actually did all this with our own bare hands

This were the marks on the paper we used to protect the table. An artwork on its own!

Here's a finished set of silver hearts. And yes, we sold the first set already!! Here we go, let's get that ball rolling ROLLING!!!!

Of course we used some gold as well. I mean, what's Christmas without some gold decorations?!

And of course, we also made several different colored sets: Pink, purple, red, gold... All ready to go!
